21E by Danny and Allan G. '20

our major in a diagram!

We are majoring in 21E, a joint major that lets you combine any humanities field (21), and any engineering field (E). We were recently messaged about the requirements of 21E, and were inspired to make a diagram, sine 21E can be confusing. So, here it is, filled out with the classes we’ve taken to meet the req’s!
